Newark Liberty International Airport has become a nightmare for travelers. Two weeks of radar blackouts and radio failures have left air-traffic controllers traumatized. Many took emergency leave after terrifying close calls, worsening delays. This isn’t laziness—it’s a broken system failing patriots who keep skies safe.
Controllers risked disaster when equipment crashed mid-shift. One veteran described a near-miss where two planes almost collided. “You play God up there,” he said. These heroes deserve support, not blame. Yet DC bureaucrats let ancient technology crumble while wasting tax dollars on woke projects.
United Airlines’ CEO smeared controllers as “walking off the job.” That’s a lie. These workers love their jobs but were ordered off duty for mental health. Real leaders protect frontline workers, not attack them. The left’s anti-worker policies created this staffing crisis.
The FAA’s excuses about “training replacements” ring hollow. It takes years to certify controllers, yet Biden’s team ignored warnings. Now travelers pay the price. America’s infrastructure is collapsing while illegal immigrants get free phones. Priorities matter.
Controllers sacrifice weekends, holidays, and family time to keep flights moving. They earn every penny of their pay. But no amount of money fixes broken gear or D.C. incompetence. Patriots on the front lines deserve tools to succeed.
Radar outages aren’t glitches—they’re warnings. Every close call could’ve been hundreds dead. The administration obsesses over climate junk science while air traffic systems rust. Real leaders invest in American greatness, not foreign green slush funds.
The union says trauma leave isn’t a loophole—it’s survival. These controllers endured Soviet-era tech failures in 2025. They’re not “triggered snowflakes.” They’re professionals pushed past breaking point by neglect. Fix the machines, not the workers.
Newark’s chaos shows what happens when elites ignore backbone America. Hardworking controllers did their part. Now voters must demand leaders who rebuild our infrastructure, respect labor, and put citizens first. No more excuses—make flying safe again.
